    Slow viral propagation during initial phase of infection leads to viral persistence in mice

    Immune evasion of pathogens can modify the course of infection and impact viral persistence and pathology. Here, using different strains of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) model system, we show t...

    Cholestasis induced liver pathology results in dysfunctional immune responses after arenavirus infection

    Immune responses are critical for defense against pathogens. However, prolonged viral infection can result in defective T cell immunity, leading to chronic viral infection. We studied immune activation in resp...

    TNFα induced up-regulation of Na+,K+,2Cl cotransporter NKCC1 in hepatic ammonia clearance and cerebral ammonia toxicity

    The devastating consequences of hepatic failure include hepatic encephalopathy, a severe, life threatening impairment of neuronal function. Hepatic encephalopathy is caused by impaired hepatic clearance of NH4 ...

    Tumor-necrosis factor impairs CD4+ T cell–mediated immunological control in chronic viral infection

    Functional T cell exhaustion occurs during chronic viral infection or in tumor settings. Beyer et al. report that chronic inflammation mediated by the cytokine TNF is responsible for this dysfunction and that blo...
